Introducing the AppHarbor Command Line Utility

We're happy to announce the release of the AppHarbor CLI. This utility gives you complete control over your applications using simple commands. After logging in, you can create new applications, retrieve build history, and manage configuration variables and host names.

Get started by downloading and installing the utility. The installer will add it to your system path.

Example: Create a new application

Create a new directory for your app and use the create shortcut to create the app with AppHarbor and initialize the directory with the Git settings your application needs to push and deploy your code to AppHarbor's servers.

Example: Link an existing application

If you already have an app in a folder configured for use with AppHarbor, you can link it to the existing application so that you can use the CLI commands to manage configuration variables and hostnames.

Navigate to the folder that contains your application and use the link command to tie it to the specified AppHarbor application slug. If the appharbor remote doesn't exist, it will be created for you.

More To Come

In this first version we wanted to make sure we supported the core interactions developers have with AppHarbor on a daily basis. We'll be adding more commands and features in the future so keep an eye on the GitHub project for changes. And since it's open source, if there's a command you'd like to add, feel free to fork the project and send a pull request.
